Nice Perfos, Kellekula!

Just got Shaggkira on the road, took a chance and pulled cylinder head cover to retorque head bolts to address an oil leak.

Couple of warts to fix...driver power seat, inside lights ( where’s Dirk?) and a weak battery.

Of course...it’s a 1999 in NauticBlue.....

I thought I was the only one. I've done that to 3 cars with 1 still leaking a bit. All 3 was leaking on the edge of the motor. When you can't afford or want to put more money in a old car which is still running great.

Thanks Matt. Due to the amount of rain in NC I've only wash all 5 cars (not each) a couple times in 5 years compared to when I was much, much younger. Son and I first attempt at a full paint correction with a DA then Ceramic Coat. Wanted Son to have a nice looking low maintenance car while in college.
